An artificial intelligence algorithm for dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI offered a 93.9 percent AUC for breast cancer detection, and a 92.3 percent sensitivity in BI-RADS 3 cases, according to new research presented at the Society for Breast Imaging (SBI) conference.
Study Says Machine Learning MRI Model May Help Predict Recurrence Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
August 22nd 2022Noting that the machine learning model incorporating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had a higher mean area under the curve (AUC) than a model based solely on clinical features for predicting hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence, researchers said the study findings could have implications for refining liver transplant criteria.
Emerging Deep Learning System May Enhance MRI Assessment of Intracranial Tumors
August 19th 2022In comparison to neuroradiology assessment of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans for tumor diagnosis, researchers found that adjunctive use of a deep learning system improved diagnostic accuracy by 12.4 percent and sensitivity by 33.5 percent in one test set of 300 patients.
MRI/CT Imaging for Axillary Lymph Nodes: What a New Breast Cancer Study Reveals
August 16th 2022The combination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) had a 63.83 percent sensitivity rate for tumor-infiltrated axillary lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer in comparison to a 36.11 percent sensitivity rate for the combination of mammography and sonography.
What's Next in Medical Image and Data Management in Radiology?
July 20th 2022In a video interview, Morris Panner, the president of Intelerad Medical Systems, discussed key observations from the recent Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) conference, recent research about artificial intelligence (AI) adoption and emerging goals for enhancing the efficiency of radiology workflows.
New Study Says Five Out of Eight Face Masks Are 'MRI Unsafe'
July 11th 2022In their testing of eight commercially available filtering face piece (FFP3) respirators commonly utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers deemed that five of the face masks that contained ferromagnetic materials were unsafe to use in and around magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices.
Eight Perspectives from Radiology Organizations on the Overturning of Roe v. Wade
July 2nd 2022In recently issued statements, different radiology organizations have offered perspectives on the physician-patient relationship and the potential impact of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
MRI Study Reveals Increased Brain Changes in Postmenopausal Women
July 1st 2022Emerging research with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans shows that postmenopausal women have higher amounts of white matter hyperintensities that may lead to elevated risks for cognitive dysfunction and stroke.
Could an MRI-Based Machine Learning Model Facilitate Enhanced Detection of Alzheimer's Disease?
June 22nd 2022New research suggests that an emerging predictive biomarker, derived from a combination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans and a machine learning algorithm, has significantly greater accuracy than previously established measurements for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease.
